What else can I help you with?
What occurs on the side of Earth that is closest to the moon and on the opposite side of earth?
Its day on the other side. Both sides have high tides while the other two has low tides.
Do high tides occur twice a day true or false?
True. High tides typically occur approximately twice a day. This is due to the gravitational pull of the moon causing water on Earth to bulge towards the moon, creating high tides on opposite sides of Earth as it rotates.
How many high tides does earth experience in 1 day?
Earth typically experiences two high tides and two low tides in a 24-hour period. This is due to the gravitational pull of the moon causing the bulging of water on opposite sides of the Earth as it rotates.
How does gravity effect the tides?
High tide is when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the earth giving a slight gravitational pull. Which then compresses the other two side of the earth giving you low tides...
Differences in the moon's and sun's pull on different sides of earth cause what?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
What do differences in the moons and suns pull on different sides of earth cause?
Neap, Spring, high and low tides.
Where do you usually get high tides and when do they occur?
you usually get high tides when the moon affects gravitational pull on the earth, which triggers the ocean of the gravitational pull. low tides occur on the top of the earth, just the opposite of what i have stated! (just in case you wanted to know!)
How does the spin of the Earth create tides?
The moon's gravity pulls the water away from the earth on the side closest to it. Also the earth is pulled away from the water on the far side. These are the high tides. The sides that are perpendicular from the moon are the low tides. Because the earth spins once in a day whereas the moon takes a month to orbit this means there are 2 high and 2 low tides each day.
Why do tides appear at both sides of the earth?
It is the effect of the moon's gravity on earth's oceans.
How many tides does earth have everyday?
Earth has a total of 4 tides a day 2 high tides and 2 low tides.
What type of tides has the highest high tides and the lowest low tides called?
The greatest high tides are Spring tides where the Earth, Moon, and Sun are in a line. They are also the lowest low tides. The least high tides and low tides are called neap tides when the sun, moon and earth form a right angle
What tides occur on the side of the Earth opposite from the Moon?
Secondary tides. High tides occur when the Moon's gravity is pulling directly on that part of the Earth's oceans nearest the Moon. But at the very same time there are high tides(although not quite as high) on the opposite side of the Earth. These are caused by the orbital relationship of the Earth and the Moon.Just as the tangential velocity on a merry-go-round appears to be pushing riders toward the outside, the rotation of the Earth-Moon system creates an apparent outward force (centrifugal force), such that the far sides of both the Earth and Moon are being pulled outward from the center.Other theories: I would explain the high tides that occur on the side of the Earth opposite from the Moon in another way.I think it is because the of differences in the strength of the Moon's gravity at different places on Earth. That's why we get 2 high tides each day.The oceans on the far side of Earth from the Moon receive the smallest gravitational pull from the Moon, hence the tidal "bulge" there.I suggest you click on the link below if you want a detailed discussion.
